The CCEA Entry Level Life Skills and Extended Life Skills specification helps learners to increase their knowledge and confidence and demonstrate their achievement in developing independent living skills for adult life.

This qualification builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills developed through the Learning for Life and Work Area of Learning.

Learners have their achievements rewarded and recognised with an accredited qualification.

The CCEA GCE Further Mathematics specification aims to encourage deeper understanding of mathematics and mathematical processes. It assumes knowledge of Higher Tier GCSE Mathematics and GCE Mathematics.

Students explore pure mathematics, including further algebra and functions, complex numbers, matrices, vectors, further calculus, hyperbolic functions and differential equations. They also investigate applied mathematics, including mechanics, statistics, and discrete and decision mathematics.

This GCSE Further Mathematics specification replaces our Additional Mathematics specification and retains much of the same content. First teaching is from September 2013, and we will make the first awards in summer 2014.

Further Mathematics involves studying mathematics at a level beyond GCSE Higher Tier. It can act as a stepping stone that gives students a sound basis for studying GCE Mathematics, introducing some of the mechanics and statistics topics that appear at AS/A2 level.

The CCEA GCSE Further Mathematics specification encourages students to extend their mathematical skills, knowledge and understanding. It gives them opportunities to select and apply mathematical techniques and methods to everyday situations.

Students design mathematical models that allow them to use problem-solving strategies and apply a broad range of mathematics to different situations.
